The Joy of Wool Combing with Twisted Pixie
$
Description:
Let's resurrect the JOY of combing wool and producing beautiful combed top! If you've found modern wool combs dangerous or difficult to use, join us for a completely enjoyable, safe, productive, and fun new experience in wool combing!
Each student will be provided with their own set of original Pixie Claws Interchangeable Wool Combs to use during the class.
We will discuss the history of wool combs, what sets the Pixie Claws wool combs apart from modern combs, learn to use the Pixie Claws to comb, blend, hackle, and create gorgeous combed top and variegated prep ready to spin!
Students will leave the workshop with as much combed top as they can produce during the class, any leftover fibers, and a discount toward Pixie Claws purchases.

Socks Made Simple - A Tiny Sock Class with Color Fiber Studio
$
Description:
Do DPNs stand for "DroPped Needles"? Is "magic loop" sorcery? If so, you need this class! We will be learning to knit socks using Addi's FlexiFlips - a simple trio of flexible needles that keeps your yarn on only 2 while you work stitches with #3. These needles are so user friendly you won't even remember you're working on tiny (sizes 0, 1, or 1.5) needles. All you'll know is that you will be making socks, mitts, and more without tears. In class we will knit a baby bootie - just big enough to cover ribbing, turning a heel, a lil' stockinette down the foot, and then toe decreases & the Kitchener stitch to close the toe. You'll leave knowing the basics and ready for more - the instructor will share some of her favorite patterns and tips - and with a set of FlexiFlips of your (size) choice. We provide the yarn, stitch markers and the needles - you will need a darning needle, your favorite tool for picking up dropped stitches (just in case - and instructor will have some available) and snips.
